From the article:
The ad, which is expected to promote an anti-choice message, will be based on the theme "Celebrate Family, Celebrate Life.
Tim's mother had the options of abortion or carrying the baby to term. She opted for the latter; she chose to carry Tim to term.
Someone explain to me how this ad will promote an anti-choice message. Or is 'choice' only applicable when the choice made is abortion?
It appears his mother did not have a choice for two reasons. The first is it was illegal. The second is she had a position of no abortions. She couldn't make the choice to abort because abortion was not an option.
It will send the message that if you truly celebrate family then you will join the anti-Choice crowd and imply you really don't love life or your family.
All that being said. This has to be one of the dumbest fucking protests I've seen since prohibition.
Of course it was an option - an option recommended by her doctor - but it was an option that she did not choose.
Many people balk when 'pro-choice' is equated to 'pro-abortion' and yet . . . . when a woman is pregnant there are only two options, carry the pregnancy to term or abort. 'Anti-choice crowd'? Does choice only apply if the woman opts for abortion?
